Tenure-track faculty position in Geological Engineering and Sciences, Michigan Technological University
The Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences at Michigan Tech invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant Professor level to support our Geological Engineering Program. Candidates with demonstrated achievements commensurate with appointment at Associate or Full Professor will also be considered. A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment. While candidates need not have engineering degrees, they must possess experience and training that would permit licensure as a professional engineer. The candidate must demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and research, with the desire to strike a balance between undergraduate and graduate teaching and advising, funded research, scholarly activity, and service. We are particularly interested in candidates who can enhance our research and educational activities in natural hazards and natural resources (mineral, hydrocarbon, and water resources) and who possess technical strengths in geological engineering, hydrology, mining engineering, remote sensing, or related areas.
Michigan Tech has a total student population of about 7000 and is located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a pristine area on the south shore of Lake Superior. The department is committed to a strong educational focus and values basic and applied interdisciplinary research. Undergraduate and graduate programs are offered in Geology, Geological Engineering and Geophysics. Interested candidates can learn more about the department faculty, research, and educational programs at www.geo.mtu.edu.
Applicants should send a single PDF document containing a detailed curriculum vitae, a statement of research capabilities and interests, a statement of teaching experience and interests, and the names and complete contact information for at least three professional references to geoengsearch@mtu.edu. Applications received by February 15, 2010 will receive the fullest attention.
In addition to the present search, strategic faculty hiring initiatives with up to ten new positions in "Next Generation Energy Systems" and "Health: Basic Sciences, Technologies, and Medical Informatics" are under way and qualified candidates are encouraged to send a separate application, following the "How to Apply" guidelines at http://www.mtu.edu/sfhi.
